The Atlanta Braves look to build on their four-game winning streak. The Braves have scored 13 runs in their last three games and three or less runs in five of their last eight games. The Braves have split their last six games when scoring three or less runs. Nick Markakis leads Atlanta with 91 hits and 25 RBI while Freddie Freeman and Cameron Maybin have combined for 80 RBI.

The Phillies are 3-9 in their last 12 during game 3 of a series and 0-4 in Hamels' last 4 starts. The Braves are 4-1 in their last 5 during game 3 of a series and 1-6 in Millers last 7 starts. The Phillies are 5-1 in Hamels' last 6 starts vs. Braves.

Hamels on the hill or not, the Phillies simply flat out suck. Not sure how anyone can feel confident backing this team, especially with the Braves getting a reasonable line.
